Painting of the week #3

This time I'm giving you a painting that i drew myself! it was a gift for my free-diver brother who simply adores the sea...  although i was younger (and not so great in painting) when i did this specific painting, but the idea of it doesn't need much effect to beautify, it's simplicity and how basic it is, makes it cartoon-ish-ly  cute :) no?

Here's my attempt in a close up on Goldie

Symphony X

 

Symphony X is my ultimate favorite band that ever existed, and well i always used to be asked "better than dream theater??" YEPP wayyy better than dream!! It's a progressive metal band, and it's formed of 5 band members.. Russel as vocal, Michael Romeo on guitar (awesome guitarist), Michael P. on keyboard, Michael L. on bass, and Jason on drums (amazing-ass drummer!! kills me -- his beats are very hard to play -.-) 

The most amazing thing about Symphony X's music is that

Painting of the week #2 (4/10/12) "Starry night" by Vincent Van Gogh

One pretty illustration of the night sky full of stars, made by Vincent Van Gogh.. one of his most famous paintings of all times! 
What i personally love most about this painting, is Gogh's try to form the realistic illustration of what we know stars are, and what we see stars are -- what we see is crosses and lines extensions of lights -- what he changed,
he made them round and real rather than just a light, the way we see them in the dark sky!

So Gogh went and drew stars, all shiny and lighting up (the way we see it), but artistically twisted it into round shaped actual stars, the way they are supposed to be ;) *creative Mr. Vincent!!*

The colors of this painting are very relaxing to the eyes, not funky and annoying.. he used different shades of blue and a little bit of other colors but very dim, and not directly in the center of the painting!! I would personally buy this painting and hang it somewhere in my house.. as much as i adore Salvador Dali's work, but i would only look at it for a while --  not a keeper like this! 

what do y'all think of this?? share!

The persuit of happyness

First, i did not miss-spell happiness by adding a 'y' instead of 'i'.. it's really how the movie is named! why? you'll have to watch it to know why ;)
Starring Will Smith and his son (yes actual son) in this unmissable Social Drama movie about life, poverty and ethics! It's a personal favorite, and #1 movie in the crying zone! :P yea.. it was specifically the first movie ever that was strong and meaningful enough that made me weep my eyes off!-- MUST watch!

The story speaks of a man,

Lilac hair! Hot!

So i was skimming articles about hair colours.. And i thought this is cool! It's not too funky, it's not white, yet it's not blonde! It beats red..too much people have red hair already.. But this..It's pretty! It's Lilac!

It's a nice hair color, when the hair is long enough and preferably straight..like it is in the picture! It gives a mysterious, classy yet Gothic look! The best part, is that it's perfect for young adult ladies,
